U.S.A.-(Ammoland.com)- There is a viral plague in our midst. It is a thing both tenacious and relentless; implacable and ruthless; furtive and evasive; grievously painful and deadly. It is a scourge, spreading rapidly across our Nation, suffocating the very life out of Americans, and crippling our Nation. What is this debilitating virus?

No, we are not talking about the Chinese Coronavirus.

Sure, Premier Xi Jinping’s Coronavirus is horrific. And, it has become a useful, effective bioweapon of war for Xi, whether the unleashing of the viral plague on the U.S. and the world was the Regime’s intention or not.

There is much speculation about the movement of the Chinese Coronavirus plague in our Nation and much disagreement as to the best ways to deal with it and to protect our people and also to get our economy up and running. But one thing is clear and indisputable: The Chinese Coronavirus has ravaged our land and our people. And it is devastating our economy. It is everything loathsome, vile, disgusting, and deadly. Because of this “Gift” from China, our lives are changing, perhaps forever.

But as dreadful as the Chinese virus is, there is another virus in our midst that is more horrific; more rapacious and voracious; more ferocious and tenacious; and more noxious, and it has been with us much longer than the Coronavirus. It is a parasitic virus, a silent plague; carefully cultivated and nourished, right here at home. It doesn’t attack and destroy the body. It latches onto and destroys the mind; the spirit; the soul. Many Americans have a natural immunity to it. Most, unfortunately, do not. It is endemic to our Nation but rarely mentioned. There is no known cure for those who contract the disease. And, for those who succumb to it, the virus turns a person into a numb, unthinking automaton, an obedient drone.

And this parasitic virus has a vile, odious feature the China Coronavirus doesn’t have. It is seductive.

This parasitic virus in our midst is the mainstream Press. It is a plague upon us; one that has been with us for decades.

Where did this plague come from? Disturbingly, it arose from and took root in the U.S. Constitution itself through a corruption of the First Amendment.

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution reads: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

The freedom of speech is, of course, a fundamental, unalienable, immutable right: a right that exists intrinsically in man, bestowed by a loving Creator in man. Is freedom of the Press distinct from the freedom of speech? Legal thinkers in the past didn’t think so. In fact——

“Through most of our history the distinction has not seemed important because the terms freedom of speech and freedom of press have been used more or less interchangeably. In the last decade, however, the press has begun to assert rights arising specifically from the press clause—the right to maintain the confidentiality of sources, the right of access to prisons and courtrooms, the right to keep police from searching newsrooms, and the right to prevent libel plaintiffs from inquiring into journalists’ thought processes. Thus far the Supreme Court has declined to give independent significance to the phrase ‘freedom of the press.’ It has refused to give the press any more protection than an individual enjoys under the speech clause.” The Origins Of The Press Clause., 30 UCLA L. Rev. 455, February 1983, by David A. Anderson, Professor of Law, The University of Texas at Austin.

If the freedom of the Press exists implicitly in the freedom of speech, why did the founders reference it in the Constitution? We guess they did so to emphasize the import of “free Press Speech,” apart from general public “free Speech,” evidently assuming that the energies of a free Press would be directed to safeguarding the Nation. Many of the founders therefore trusted in an unencumbered, unrestrained, unconstrained free Press. Many did; but not all.

But the founders did, as one, foresee the innate tendency of the federal Government to accumulate power unto itself. And that concern informed the founders’ blueprint for the Nation. They concluded an unshackled free Press, in tandem with the Second Amendment right of the people to keep and bear arms, were two effective guardians against a tyrannical Government. But did the founders misapprehend the Press? Did they fail to see that an unrestrained Press, far from safeguarding a free Constitutional Republic, would endanger it?

The founders correctly deduced the tendency of the federal Government to unlawfully amass power, even as the Constitution’s first three Articles, carefully delineated the powers and authority that each Branch may lawfully wield. The founders also correctly deduced that an armed citizenry would effectively counter encroaching tyranny. But the founders evidently did not believe a Press, far from serving as a mechanism to ward off tyranny, might one day become the agent of it, even as some, notably Thomas Jefferson, harbored serious misgivings about Press Freedom as reflected in his writings. In those writings Jefferson expressed uncertainty, even equivocation, despite the fact that many commentators, today, deny this, arguing Jefferson unequivocally supported Press Freedom. He did not.

John Norvell, U.S. Senator from Michigan, January 26, 1837 – March 4, 1841, wrote to Jefferson, explaining how he would one day wish to enter the field of newspaper publishing:

“It would be a great favor, too, to have your opinion of the manner in which a newspaper, to be most extensively beneficial, should be conducted, as I expect to become the publisher of one for a few years.

Accept venerable patriot, my warmest wishes for your happiness.”

Jefferson composed a stern letter to Norvell, warning him of the dangers of the Press.

“To your request of my opinion of the manner in which a newspaper should be conducted, so as to be most useful, I should answer, ‘by restraining it to true facts & sound principles only.’ Yet I fear such a paper would find few subscribers. It is a melancholy truth, that a suppression of the press could not more compleatly deprive the nation of its benefits, than is done by its abandoned prostitution to falsehood. Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knowledge with the lies of the day. I really look with commiseration over the great body of my fellow citizens, who, reading newspapers, live & die in the belief, that they have known something of what has been passing in the world in their time; whereas the accounts they have read in newspapers are just as true a history of any other period of the world as of the present, except that the real names of the day are affixed to their fables. General facts may indeed be collected . . . but no details can be relied on. I will add that the man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them; inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods & errors. He who reads nothing will still learn the great facts, and the details are all false.”
—Letter from Thomas Jefferson to John Norvell, 14 June 1807

And, 200 years after composing his cautionary letter to John Norvell, the fear that Jefferson expressed has come to pass as many academicians hold to the theory that Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Press are two conceptually distinct freedoms; one accorded to the body politic generally, and the other accorded to mainstream “professional journalists.”

The schism has resulted in the false idea that Press Free Speech is of a higher order of Right than the general Free Speech Right accorded the ordinary masses’; that “professional journalists” should be designated a privileged group; that Press freedom should be accorded more deference than speech freedom. This is a dangerous idea, not only detrimental to First Amendment Free Speech but to the very sanctity of a free Constitutional Republic. And the danger isn’t theoretical; it is actual. The Press is not content simply to report the news and to critique the Government. No! The Press has itself become an instrument of repression as it strives to constrain our fundamental rights and liberties, to overthrow a duly elected President, and to undermine a free Constitutional Republic.

I recall reading many, many years ago, from the New Testament or from an analysis of the New Testament, perhaps, something to the effect that “the inner man counts for far more than the flesh, and blood, and bone, and sinew of the outer man.” I take this to mean that it isn’t race, or color, or ethnicity that ultimately defines a man; and it isn’t a brilliant mind, great strength, silver tongue, comely visage, or circumstance of birth, that defines a man either. It is what he has on the inside; in his spirit, and in his soul, through… Read more »

The press has become the most serious threat to the Constitution the American Republic has ever faced. It’s the face of tyranny, repression, oppression and evil. Only a few people control it and it feeds you what they say you get fed and when. Lies, repeated enough, becomes truth. Orange Man Bad. Orange Man bad. Orange Man bad, etc..

For most of the history of the American legal system …slander ( called libel if published ) was comprised of a defamatory statement made against another person which resulted in injury to the reputation of the person subject to the comment …the Law usually presumed that the defamatory statement was false but the Defendant ( who made the statement ) could prove it was true and win the case …but in the 1960’s the Supreme Court in the Sullivan case and succeeding cases chose to change the rules …concerning the falsity of the statement and required that not only falsity… Read more »

USA, when you are not out Jew hunting, you have some reasonable views.

“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speakerh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

I will agree there may be some Chinese that would benefit from the virus. But I’m not sure it was the Chinese Govt unless they were working with Dems (Peter Strozk & ILK). Where’s Hunter ? Biden was their best LMAO. C’mon Man look who has what to gain. China is going to ruin their economy & everyone else for what ? They have never had it so good. But yeah let’s screw that up. LOL

Twice in the same thread for the anti-semitic douchebag. I’m impressed. No, not really. You’re such a small man. Your mother must hate having you still living at home. She probably just hates you because you’re an ass clown.

USA, ironically, your video states they use bigotry to divide the religious and the races, and the Jews are not the “masterminds” of the Illuminati, but one of the groups to be destroyed by it, along with the Roman Catholics, Communists, Free Masons, etc. Yet here you are displaying that bigotry, advancing the goal of the group you claim to be “outing”. Clever deception or foolish, as your video depicts them in their bigoted, narrow-minded views, puppets being played by the Illuminati?

You need to go somewhere to get a life. You are an insult to you Farther and Mother. Get lost!

Oh, look! The anti-semitic douchebag strikes again.

An Ashkenazi jew, through his father, Alois Schlickelgruber. Not a Sepphadic one. An Eastern European of Khazar descent… nothing at all to do with Hebrews from the Middle East. Averill Harriman (then… of Brown Brothers Harriman, now known as Kellogg, Brown, and Root. or just KBR, its stock exchange logo) is another good case to study. He was part of FDR’s cabinet, an insider, and one of the three primary founders of the Union Banking Corporation. You know, the company that was created by Harriman, and both Max and Felix Warburg to funnel money from the US to Hitler to… Read more »

USA, Were you already aware that Ford bought the Dearborn Independent just to publish those documents that he had had researched at great cost? But he couldn’t get one publisher on planet blue marble to publish it. Not. even. one. 100% controlled media…. even in 1920! But not for long because Henry Ford could afford to buy his way in and get it published anyway, after all the Khazarian owned media “declined” to publish it. And then right after that the media got all hostile towards Ford and started it’s decline into the Edsel years, ending not long after that… Read more »

USA, Protocols is fake. Any quick Internet search would explain that to you, debunked almost 100 years ago.

Sir.
Insults are not necessary. These creatures infesting Palestine are not the True Children of Israel. Please refer to The New Testament The Gospel of John chapter 8 verses 44-48. These are the false ones who Christ warned us about. Ironically, they are the ones who hung him on the tree!
Yes sir. He correctly referred to them as Satan’s Children!
